  JW`s Lie about Christendom hiding the Name Jehovah.or its equivalent Yahweh

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovahs witnesses have been outspoken over the years/decades that christendom have been hiding or obscuring or even eliminating gods name jehovah from the general public.. how true is that statement .?.

  1. it was a catholic monk of the 13th century that first coined the name jehovah in the english language.. 2.the roman catholic douay version of the bible does have the name jehovah in it.

  about the 16th century.

  I need help to understand this scripture. What does it mean?
  Does this make the JW interpretation of all people being destroyed wrong..Since god counts faith as righteousness?

  Marry only in the Lord

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the second half of 1 corinthians 7:39 reads "...she is free to be married to whomever she wants, only in the lord.".

  so we all know that scripture for being doctrine for witnesses when they select a marriage mate and how they are strictly encouraged to marry amongst themselves and look down upon or marked if they marry an outsider.

  i have a friend who met a worldly man and when it came to light, her father gave her the option to end the relationship or to marry him, and she chose the latter.

  Unfortunately for my parents, they said they would kick me out of the house if I dated a worldly girl.

  I could marry the most decent girl in the world. The whole package, has a good job, looks after lost puppies, donates to charity, caring, funny, good morals, respectful and loyal but if she's not a JW they won't approve of her, pretty much disown me and won't want to know her.

  is it possible to keep a somewhat relationship with your family if they are witnesses and have a "worldly" girlfriend?

  i just posted a post, and found this site to be very helpful.

  sorry to repost but my other thread brought up some other questions.

  The Witneses reckon that they are the only ones going door-to-door!

  by Bungi Bill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just had a visit from two guys who are engaged in a door-to-door campaign in the area, preaching "the gospel", and offering, to quote "the best news you are ever going to hear".

  this was at 3:30 pm local time, an hour at by which all jws would have long called it a day.

  while these two didn't identify themselves with any particular church group, it was quite obvious that they were neither jws or lds.

  The argument a JW would say that they are doing this on a global scale and I got asked have you ever had another religious group knock on your door? And I answered never.

  Plus even if another religious group was going door to door on a global scale. The JW would say they don't have the truth so they are wrong.

  JW Parents and kicking out their children

  by NJ501 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is it a common practice for jw parents to kick their children out of the home, if the child doesn't want to be a jw.

  (even though their not disfellowshipped they will still get kicked out for not going to meetings etc.??).

  do other religions encourage kicking family members out this as well?

  Thanks for all your comments.

  Because I've been recently threatened to pack my bags and get out. Even though Im not disfellowshipped and Im not a bad person. I dont want to leave and live a immoral lifestyle either.

  And Ive heard of similar situations where kids have been kicked out and was wondering if this is a common situation.

  Do other religions encourage kicking family members out this as well? Or is this a cult practice?

  Does this also mean the parents love is only conditional?

  Blood Transfusions/Blood Salvage

  by NJ501 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  hi all,i've been doing some research on blood transfusions and fractions.

  i found out a patient can donate their own blood, so it can be used for elective surgery...i was wondering if theirs really any difference between a blood transfusion of your own blood and the blood salvage procedure.

  i think quite similar since its just a re-transfusion of your own blood.. what are your thoughts?

  smiddy your comment makes a lot of sense.
  
  It was interesting to read that blood fractions are made out of whole blood.

  They don't want you educated because the higher your educated the less likely you will be intimidated and you start to think for yourself. Your life will be more successful and easier.

  When your a cleaner or a window washer then life is difficult and unsatisfying in the world..Just like the WT wants you to believe. Similar to the lower educated employees who must submit to their bosses or be threaten to lose everything.
